An Oklahoma man who was doing target practice in his backyard on Christmas is believed to have shot and killed an elderly woman a few blocks from his home, authorities said.
Cody Wayne Adams, 33, has been charged with first-degree manslaughter in connection with the deadly shooting, court filings show.
The victim was on a covered front porch with family members at a residence in Comanche when she was shot Thursday afternoon, according to the probable cause affidavit. She was holding a baby in her left arm while seated on a love seat when she was struck in her right upper arm, according to the affidavit. The bullet then entered her chest cavity, it said.
So… pretty much everyone in the area had a shooting range except the accused?
A “backstop” is not a shooting range…
It’s usually just a pile of dirt.
It’s wild for a bunch of people in a neighborhood to all be doing this, because even if the first couple are kind of safe about it, every idiot starts thinking jt’s safe to just shoot at a can or anything. All they know is they hear gunshots
My parents have a place to shoot in their yard. It’s a stack of old railroad ties four deep, two wide and ten tall with dirt piled up around the back. There is an empty field for over a mile behind that. I can’t imagine using it if anyone was any closer.
Sounds like a terrible neighbourhood to live in, shots going off from everyone all the time
I used to play a game with friends in Tacoma, WA, USA where we would sit outside at night and guess what the caliber was when we heard gunfire every 5 or so minutes.
I’m picturing celebratory gunfire into the air every weekend.
Rent must be hella cheap
This is Oklahoma.
Exactly. Why didn’t he have a shooting range too?
Apparently he did, just lacking the important part of a fucking backstop.
infamous for the bombing incident.
